"Well, I think I'm playing guitar at home. I've relaxed my basic practice a lot recently, so I need to strengthen it. Also, I need to update my videos. I can't think of what to post..."

In the past, Goto Ichiri updated a video almost every two or three days, but at Izumi's suggestion, she specially recorded some songs that ordinary people also like and her followers gradually increased. Later, Izumi suggested that she stabilize the update frequency, and now she updates a video almost every day.

After going on for such a long time, her enthusiasm and energy seemed to be exhausted, and she didn't know what songs to record next.

"Well, do you want to come to my house?"

After hearing Goto Ichiri's plans for the holiday, Izumi looked at her with a smile and said something that made Goto Ichiri wonder if she had heard it wrong.

"Stay at my house during the holidays?"

164. No Time to Consider

"Ain's band has basically been formed. Except for Ain, everyone else was once a member of a band and has experience in live performances. They will probably aim to perform live performances in the future. Ain is the least experienced among them, and you know her technical skills, so I hope that during the holiday, you can accompany Ain for some special training to narrow the distance between her and her teammates."

When a boy invites a girl to live in his house, it is sending out ambiguous signals in every way. Izumi is also very clear about how much misunderstanding his words will cause, so after he opened his mouth, he explained the reason why he invited Goto Ichiri to live in his house.

"Ichiri is also planning to pursue a career in music, right? So, during the holiday, we can go to the Livehouses in Shimokitazawa and Shibuya. Different bands will give you different experiences."

Goto Ichiri, who hadn't yet remembered to feel shy and hesitant, sat on the library floor in a daze after Izumi's subsequent series of explanations, staring blankly at Izumi beside him. The small 'CPU' took a minute to interpret the information in Izumi's words, and then hesitated for a while before responding.

"Um... help Aine improve her guitar skills... and go to her live show?"

Goto Ichiri, who had few friends before, seemed a little slow in reaction when it came to conversation. She had not accumulated anything worthy of being called "experience" regarding the surrounding atmosphere and the rhythm of the conversation, so when she talked to Izumi, she would need to spend some time digesting the information given by Izumi, and then spend some more time analyzing in her mind what kind of response she should make, before finally answering unconfidently.

“But…Did Aine ask for this herself?”

Goto Ichiri hugged his knees and looked at Izumi beside him with a puzzled look.

If Chihaya Aine made this request herself and hoped that Goto Ichiri would help her improve her guitar skills, Goto Ichiri would not mind, but she had not heard Aine talk about these things with her before, so she was a little worried that it was Izumi who proposed it herself, and after she agreed, Aine would refuse.

"No, it's my personal wish. Aine will most likely not refuse. If I were to teach her, she would most likely refuse and decline. But you suddenly appeared at her home, and she will not refuse out of consideration for your feelings."

After a pause, looking at the blue sky outside the library window, Quan pursed his lips and chuckled.

"I know this is a bit arbitrary, but it's the best option for Aine right now. If she can't keep up with her current teammates, she'll probably realize her shortcomings soon and become even more frustrated."

Feeling the concern and love for Aine in Izumi's tone, Goto Ichiri vaguely felt again the complicated emotions he had felt before Aine came back.

“What on earth is that…”

With his cheek buried in his arms around his knees and his eyes lowered, no longer looking at Izumi beside him, Goto Ichiri wanted to agree, but he didn't want to agree.

"I-I'll go back and think about it, okay?"

After thinking in silence for a while, Goto Ichiri did not give Izumi an answer immediately, but hoped that the other party could give him some time to think carefully before giving an answer.

"Actually, I don't know what to do during the holiday, so I hope that Ichiri can accompany me to guide Aine. It's hard for her to calm down if I'm alone. But before that, I hope that Ichiri can follow your own ideas instead of being swayed by my suggestions. There's no need to force yourself if you're not interested in something. Just do what you're interested in."

Accompanying Goto Ichiri to watch Kitazawa and Shibuya's live was not out of personal consideration. Izumi was truly considering Goto Ichiri. As a friend, he hoped that Goto Ichiri could go smoother and further on the road of music.

After all... considering Goto Ichiri's current grades, it would be very difficult for him to continue his studies. It would be better for him to continue on the path of music, which he has a natural talent for.

After hearing what Izumi said about her, Goto Ichiri pursed his lips gently, his eyes reflecting Izumi's gentle face, and his heart was tangled...

"Quan, let's go back together!"

"I would rather hope that the person who can say this to me is a lively and lovely beautiful girl, rather than a heavy online game geek wearing glasses."

After hearing the voice of Sendo Xiaodou at the door, Quan glanced towards the door. Sendo Xiaodou, who was carrying a schoolbag on his right shoulder with one hand, was waving his left hand at Quan, making Quan feel helpless.

During lunch break today, after being pestered by Xiaodou Sendo, Quan agreed to accompany him to Inazuki Nozomi's e-sports store.

"Come with me today and help me climb the points!"

"Ga Ga, you are responsible for Ga Ga, and I am responsible for getting points, right?"

He walked to the side of Sendo Xiaodou, and as if afraid that Izumi would run away, he couldn't wait to put his arm around Izumi's shoulders.

"Where's Shun?"

"He went straight to the store first. I'll wait for you here."

"Hey, you guys are going to play games together, if you don't mind, can you take me with you?"

Hiroto Shioyama walked up to the two of them, smiled and waved at Izumi.

"Um...are you Quan's new friend? Are you good at FPS?"

Seeing the handsome and sunny-looking Hiroto Shioyama, Xiaodou Sendo was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked.

"You should be relatively familiar with it, right? The currently famous battle royale was at diamond last season."

"Welcome to join our warm family, comrade."

After hearing Hiroto Shioyama's answer, Xiaodou Sendo let go of Izumi's shoulders, and then extended his left hand to Hiroto Shioyama as a symbol of friendship, which made Hiroto Shioyama stunned for a moment, and then hesitantly extended his hand and shook hands with the other party.

Although Diamond is not the highest level, it is still considered a player with a deep understanding of the game. Probably stronger than the unstable Xiaodou Sendou.

Xiaodou Xiandou is at the level where he might not even win in a gun duel at the Bronze level, and is just an average player at the Master level.

Originally, in the 3v3 mode, Akato Sendo was planning to bring in Shun Tokinoya who was working in the store, but now with Hiroto Shioyama, there is no need to force Shun Tokinoya.

"lets go!"

With two big dads as his backers, Xiandou Xiaodou's whole momentum became more majestic. He roared heroically and walked forward.

"Are you okay?"

Hiroto Shioyama looked at Izumi hesitantly, while Izumi shrugged his shoulders with a helpless look on his face.

Looking into the classroom, he gently waved to Goto Ichiri, said goodbye to the girl, patted Shioyama Hiroto on the shoulder, and followed Sendo Xiaodou who was leaving...

165. You said 'I'm willing to do anything', right?

"With your skills, why don't you consider becoming a live streamer?"

Stepping into the e-sports store, Hiroto Shioyama was a little unfamiliar at first, but after the introduction of Xiaodou Sendo, the three of them sat down in adjacent seats, with Izumi sandwiched between the two.

After Hiroto Shioyama reported his ID, Xiaodou Sendou, who had added him as a friend, couldn't wait to invite him to join the team and started the first game.

At the beginning of the game, Xiaodou Sendo led the other two to a crowded place. Every time Xiaodou Sendo picked up a weapon, he entered the black and white screen at the speed of light, and then switched to the perspective of his teammates, making Hiroshi Shioyama, who had just knocked down an enemy and was killed, at a loss as to how to evaluate it.

"Besides us, there are at least three teams here, right?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just watch how Quan performs."

But when Hiroto Shioyama looked at Xiaodou Sendo, the other party was lying on the seat, waved his hand with a relaxed look, indicating that Hiroto Shioyama did not need to be nervous, and smiled and clicked on the service system in the store, and began to browse the drinks and food in the store.

Hiroto Shioyama couldn't help but fall silent for a while, sighed helplessly, turned his eyes to the screen in front of him, and was about to order himself a cup of Coke, but he noticed that from the perspective of him and Xiaodou Sendou, Izumi, the only survivor of the three-person team, used sharp operations that he couldn't even catch up with, and successfully eliminated the team that had just killed him and Xiaodou Sendou, and got the resurrection signs of the two.

Feeling that his vocabulary was a little scarce, Hiroto Shioyama didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment. He stared blankly at Izumi who was alone. After he wiped out another team alone and resurrected him and Akatsuki Sendo, he asked the sentence just now.

Hiroto Shioyama is also a loyal player of this game and occasionally watches other people's live broadcasts. He is sure that based on Quan's performance just now, it is not much worse than that of the professional players he watched.

"I've talked to him about this a long time ago, but Quan isn't interested in it."

The resurrected Sendou Xiaodou answered on behalf of Izumi without even turning his head, which made Hiroto Shioyama feel a little regretful, but he immediately focused on the game...

He played games with Xiaodou Sendo for two hours, and gained a lot of points with him and Hiroto Shioyama. He also recorded a lot of wonderful materials. After handing them over to Inazuki Nozomi, he chatted briefly with Shun Tokinoya and left the e-sports store.

Taking the items given to him by Tokinoya Shun, he came to Tokinoya's house alone and rang the doorbell. After a while, Tokinoya Mion, who was wearing pajamas, sat on the floor at the door and opened the door for him.

"Brother Quan, you're here!"

Seeing that the person standing at the door was Izumi, Tokinoya Mion was obviously very happy, and a happy smile quickly appeared on her originally calm face.

For Tokinoya Mion, who stayed at home alone all day and lacked company, just seeing Izumi was enough to satisfy her.

"Shun asked me to bring some things back for him. Is Mrs. Tokinoya still off work?"

Looking at the girl slumped on the floor, Izumi slowly walked into the room, then put down the paper bag in his hand, picked up the girl sitting on the floor with both hands, and sent her back to the bed step by step. While Izumi was holding her, Tokinoya Mion put her arms around Izumi's neck, lowered her head on Izumi's shoulders, closed her eyes, and smelled the faint fragrance on Izumi's body. She felt that the empty part deep in her heart was filled at once.

"You can let go now."

"Wait a moment."

Even though she had been carried back to the bed by Izumi, Tokinoya Mion was still reluctant to let go of her arms. Breathing in the faint fragrance that belonged only to Izumi, she wrapped her arms around Izumi's neck and rubbed her face against his shoulders twice.

Quan did not reject the girl's little willfulness, but gently stroked her thin back, as if to comfort the girl's heart.

She held Quan for a very long time, until the girl, perhaps because she was tired, she reluctantly let go of her hands.

"What's wrong with your legs lately?"

Facing the girl's somewhat 'resenting' gaze towards him, Quan smiled and looked at her pair of slender, small, white and slightly cool feet. He reached out and gently held them, rubbing them gently. He looked at Tokinoya Mion and found that the girl was shaking her head silently.

"It's still the same as before. Is my brother busy with work?"

Tokinoya Mion gave an answer but didn't want to talk about it any further, so she asked Izumi about Tokinoya Shun's situation.

"It's just so-so. There aren't many customers, so it's not very busy."

The Inatsuki family's e-sports store does average business. Every day after school and after get off work, which should be the time when there are the most customers, even less than half of the seats in the store are occupied. In addition to providing necessary services, Tokinoya Shun also cleans and maintains the computers in the store, so his work is relatively leisurely.

"He and mom come back very late every day...Brother Quan only comes over occasionally."

The voice was lonely, Tokinoya Mio lowered her head, and a faint sadness filled the air around her.

He gently massaged the girl's feet, moving upwards little by little, to loosen up her legs. Looking at Tokinoya Mion who seemed to feel nothing, he comforted the girl in front of him with a gentle voice.

"The Golden Week holiday is coming soon. When we have time, do you want to go out together?"

"Eh?"

Tokinoya Mion lowered her head and thought for a moment that she had misheard. She suddenly raised her head, her soft twin ponytails fluttering behind her, and her bright and clear eyes looked at Izumi in front of her with surprise.

"Really? Brother Quan, you are not lying to me?"

Her brother and mother were both busy with work and had no time to accompany her. Tokinoya Miura had already forgotten when she last went out. Now, she suddenly heard Izumi say that he was willing to go out with her. She was so surprised that she clutched Izumi's sleeves tightly with her little hands and looked at him expectantly.

"Of course, this is something I've already thought about, so are you willing?"

"I do! If it's Brother Quan, I'm willing to do anything!"

A happy smile appeared on the girl's delicate and lovely face, her eyes were like crescent moons, and the pure happy smile infected Quan, who couldn't help but smile.

"Are you willing to do anything? By the way, can you let Mio learn 'Haruhi Kage'?"

The slightly familiar lines echoed in Quan's heart, and Quan thought subconsciously.
